24 celebrities and their incredible look alikes from the past

They say that everyone of us has at least one look alike in the world, and according to an old urban legend our double lives in the opposite part of the globe from where we are. Obviously that’s not real, but if you think rationally there are some odds that, between all the people lived in the past, there was somebody that looked just like us.
That’s what this gallery is all about: there are celebrities that have look alikes coming directly from the past. When we saw these photos we couldn’t help but stare at the incredible similarity between these celebs and their counterparts. For example Justin Timberlake is almost identical to a guy lived in the 1800’s, Jay-Z had a perfect double living in Harlem in the 1860’s and Donald Trump really does look like the General George Patton.
Believe it or not, here are 24 celebrities and their incredible look alikes from the past.

Not all that amazing. I bet if you also traced their family tree you might also find they may just be related. I was not long ago trying to trace my family tree and came across and ancestor if mine who is my second cousin 5 times removed, which means that his great-great granpa was my 5th great grandfather and he was the spitten image of my middle brother. so yeah I am sure we all have someone in the past that we looked identical to.

The Jack Black/Barber of Seville comparison is a bit of a stretch because the Barber of Seville (or Figaro) was a fictional character, not a real person who lived in the past, as you pointed out; and the picture you compared Jack Black to was a poster picture. However, if fictional characters are included here, then I would include the following: 2011 American Idol winner Scotty McCreery and the mascot of Mad Magazine, Alfred E. Neuman! 🙂
